Octophonic Textures

 

A one hour show with four contemporary electroacoustic compositions, performed live and made especially for our octophonic sound system and the acoustics of the Saint Antonius church. A sound system in which eight individual sound sources are spread in the room in order to add spaciousness and a new dimension of compositional possibilities to the music. A concert in which contemporary electroacoustic listening music is performed live and the focus is on spatial music. This concert uses an octophonic system, a sound system in which eight individual sound sources are spread in the room in order to add spaciousness and a new dimension to the music. Why spatial music? There are far more interesting ways to experience music. For this first edition we will install an octophonic sound system, a system with eight individual monitor speakers. Why only listen to stereo sound systems when you can go beyond?! Encounter spatial electroacoustic music, get struck by the contrast between the dynamic movement of sounds and textures in space music, and the static nature of the sounds. Spatialization is a critical and necessary aspect of electronic music, as the spatial movement of sounds provide a physicality and dynamism that greatly enhance the listening experience.

For Octophonic Textures, I did a live-set together with Titus van gent.
